  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Struggles with eight targets

    Palmer finished with three receptions (on eight targets) for 38 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to Baltimore.

    Palmer led the Chargers in targets, but the wideout finished just third in receptions and yardage Monday. It was actually the 24-year-old's best output since Week 9, highlighting the underwhelming nature of his performance in 2024. Palmer should only be considered a deep-league option Week 13 in a road matchup against Atlanta.

  • Ryan Miller WR | NYG

    Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: Back to reduced role Sunday

    Miller brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Miller saw a precipitous drop in playing time with Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan returning to action from their respective hamstring injuries. The Furman product went from a season-high 50 snaps in Week 10 against the 49ers to a season-low 15 (23 percent) on Sunday, but it appears the Buccaneers may continue to keep six wide receivers active on occasion down the stretch as they did against the Giants. In such an instance, Miller, who's now posted at least one catch in five straight games, would figure to continue garnering active status and working as a No. 5 or No. 6 receiver.

  • Trey Palmer WR | NO

    Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Double-digit yards on one catch

    Palmer brought in his only target for 18 yards and returned one punt for 15 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    The second-year wideout played 17 snaps (26 percent), placing him behind Jalen McMillan (41 snaps), Mike Evans (39 snaps), Sterling Shepard (35 snaps) and Rakim Jarrett (21 snaps) in terms of the team's wideouts. Palmer figures to remain in a deep reserve role as long as injuries don't strike in front of him on the depth chart, but he's now recorded at least one catch in five of the last six contests.

  • Rakim Jarrett WR | PIT

    Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Big gain on one catch

    Jarrett secured his only target for 30 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Jarrett logged 21 snaps (32 percent) in the lopsided victory, experiencing quite the dip in playing time with the return of both Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan from hamstring issues. Jarrett had played over 40 snaps in each of the previous two games with his pair of teammates sidelined, but as he demonstrated Sunday, his big-play ability has the potential to continue affording him a solid complementary role in an offense in need of pass-catching playmakers.

  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: One catch in return to action

    McMillan brought in one of two targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    After garnering active status Week 10 against the 49ers but not playing any snaps, McMillan jumped into the No. 2 receiver role following the bye and led all Buccaneers wideouts with 41 snaps. However, as his final line implies, McMillan drew very little of Baker Mayfield's attention and logged only one additional target than reserves such as Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller and Rakim Jarrett. Nevertheless, the rookie is likely to continue in a starting role in a Week 13 road matchup against the Panthers.

  • Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Does little with five catches

    Shepard brought in five of seven targets for 16 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Shepard finished tied for second in receptions with Mike Evans and actually led the Buccaneers in targets, but he averaged a minuscule 3.2 yards per catch. The veteran wideout figures to continue serving as a complementary presence now that Evans and Jalen McMillan are both healthy, but Shepard will likely struggle to achieve fantasy relevance down the stretch due to what projects to be mostly a short-area role.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Leading WR in MNF loss

    McConkey (shoulder) caught all six of his targets for 83 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

    McConkey led all Chargers receivers outside of targets in Monday's narrow loss to Baltimore. The second-round rookie posted his third-highest receiving total of the season. McConkey has elevated himself to become Justin Herbert's top option in recent weeks, making him a strong fantasy play for next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

  • Zay Flowers WR | BAL

    Ravens' Zay Flowers: Paces pass catchers in win

    Flowers secured five of eight targets for 62 yards in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Chargers on Monday night.

    Flowers tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. The speedy second-year wideout recorded catches of 22 and 25 yards among his five grabs, and Monday marked only the second time he cleared 60 receiving yards in his eight sub-100-yard efforts. Flowers should have another key role during a Week 13 home interconference showdown against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Records two catches in Week 12

    Wilson hauled in two of four targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 16-6 loss at Seattle.

    Trey McBride dominated the attention of QB Kyler Murray on Sunday to the tune of 15 targets, which translated to a 12-133-0 line for the tight end. Murray still put up 37 passes, though, and Wilson was among three other Cardinals to earn at least four targets (Marvin Harrison had six, James Conner recorded five). Since Wilson was blanked on one target back in Week 9, he's had modest results the last two contests, combining for five catches (on eight targets) for 78 yards and no touchdowns. He'll remain a regular in Arizona's passing game this coming Sunday in Minnesota.

  • Rams' Demarcus Robinson: Arrested Monday after traffic stop

    Robinson was arrested early Monday in Woodland Hills, Calif. on suspicion of driving under the influence, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Robinson reportedly was cited and released following the arrest. It's not yet clear how the legal matter may impact his playing status moving forward. The Rams next play Dec. 1 in New Orleans.
